Overview
NOTE: DV8 Hitch Skid is designed to fit most 2” hitches, however check your vehicle to ensure will fit properly. Some hitches (OEM and aftermarket) may come with a gusset on the underside which may impede proper fitment (ex. 2016-2023 Tacoma OEM hitch does not fit).
The DV8 Xtract Hitch Skid is a dual-purpose trail solution that protects your rig while adding a reliable recovery point. Engineered to mount directly to any standard 2” hitch receiver with a ⅝” pin, this billet aluminum skid plate is built to take abuse on the trail. Its replaceable Delrin skid pad reduces friction and prevents damage when your hitch makes contact with rocks, while the 1” thick mounts for ¾” D-rings provide secure recovery points rated to a 13,000lb working load limit.
Crafted from premium 6061-T6 billet aluminum in a single-piece design, the Xtract Hitch Skid ensures maximum strength and durability. For customization, it’s offered in raw, black, or red finishes, with an optional upgrade to a billet aluminum skid plate pad. Replacement Delrin & Aluminum Skid Pads are available. Whether you’re crawling over rocks or pulling a recovery, this hitch skid delivers protection, strength, and versatility.
